Hello everyone! I promised I will be back... And here I am! I am going to post a series of short tales, maybe science fiction related... maybe not! The reason is, I need to practise my english writing skills, learn new vocabulary, refresh the one I know and so on. So, why not do it in a funny way? This short stories may not be quite correct as they are thought and write at the same time. That is NO reviewed, I am a bit in a rush lately so, that is the best I can do for now. If you do not find them quite awful, wait for more to come!!

Hello everyone! As you can see the blog's activity have reached the 'non-existent' point, so I am going to explain myself the situation. From September until now my life have changed enormously I couldn't take my time to make this small posts weekly. I have started to work while I keep studying at the university which is honestly quite a lot of work. To this I have to sum that I am not able to follow the publications weekly anymore (as I don't have time enough or mor important, a tablet in which I can read them, mine is broken). Furthermore, the Spanish government is planning new laws related to the sharing of links to places where content is shared so this site will be in the black list sadly.

However, it is not all bad news (or at least terribly bad ones) you can keep reading me at Cabezas Cortadas, where I write with a bit more of criterion (not too much though) and I am planning to be back at this blog this Christmas if all goes like planned.

To end with, I must thank you for the support, for your comments or to simply read my posts, although they were of a very questionable quality sometimes. So, don't worry I will notify you when this section returns, it may be sooner or later but it will be. I promise,

Hello friends, let's start another post of the all mighty USA's Wednesday Comics:
DC this week only have moooooore boring things about this stupid Villains month, maybe this is great however I have not read any comics of this 'event' and I am not going to start now.
So, let's get more friendly with Marvel and see what is new here. New Avengers have definetely become my favourite Marvel series and the runner-up is Superior Spiderman, so it is a really good week for me. Also X-Men Legacy keeps being entertaining and Infinity reaches its third number of this 'youcannotmissthis' event. The decision is yours!
In Image we have actual new things, Zero starts this month, this series is written by Alex Kot and the art in charge of Michael Walsh it is about a hardcore spy which is ordered to find an stolen object, what a surprise when it comes to be inside a biomodified terrorist. It looks like a bit of sci-fi-noir series worth of checking out. We will see if it deserves it!

Johns leaves Aquaman, yeah! That's right DC. Well ,you can take the last look at his series while he is still there. DC keeps on publishing this 'month of the villians' thing. The thing I did not know was that some series repeated with a new villian in its inner pages, well it explains a lot... Despite this comics, there is a new issue of FBPD (previously known as Collider) which is a good thing and one of the DC series which it is worth reading. For me nothing more to take into account of this publisher.

Let's take a look at Marvel new comics, we have two new titles, one which we won't take into consideration which is Mighty Avengers. This series have 2 main problems: 1. Is ANOTHER Avengers title. 2. Is drawn by Greg Land one of the awfullest artist in Marvel right now. Buuuut, if you can surpass this obstacles, it is written by someone called Al Ewing who have written for the Dynamite's title Jennifer's Blood and some 2000 AD stories. This series is directly linked with Infinity, it will be about the heroes which are left on Earth to defend it when the rest of Avengers are left: Luke Cage, Power Man, Spider-man, Spectrum and White Tiger. Make your choice wisely...

Image have a quiet week with only a few titles, however they are one of the heavyweight of the company, The Walking Dead, Prophet and The Manhattan Projects, all good titles you will enjoy.

A day late but here we are. There is some new routines in my personal life (I have started working, yep) so I do not have as much as time as I used to therefore this section is having a quite awful lack of punctuality. I am working to have this posts ready in time in the future but I can not promise anything I have even thought of giving up doing the section however I will try to make the effort (Do not panic...for the time being). Too much off-topic, let's start with the importan things!

Oh no! DC comics have started ANOTHER marketing movement! It is the villain's month! You can see who will be in which comic this month in the list, I have a genuine lack of interest in this comics, however I am curious about the issue of the Joker after what Snyder told in A Death in the Family, however a different creative team is handling the issue which will be located before that event. However, I have heard good things about Batmn And Robin's comic, in general a good series I suppose it can not be very bad. What is a completely shame is that we can not enjoy of the fabulous 3D covers! I would have liked to feel like living in the nineties once more...

In Marvel comics Infinity the event by Jonathan Hickman continues with its second issue recalling me that I have not read the previous one! I am such a sinner, Hickman forgive me! And this week we have another mutant event The Battle of the atom has started and the writer who is behind is BENDIS, yep! Judge yourselves... And do not forget to pick the series of your friendly neighbor Spider-man which are always entertaining.

In Image apart from the fabulous ongoing series we have a one shot called Love Stories to die for by Dirk Manning and Owen Gieni, which contain two stories about, yep you guessed right, love (although not precisely in the romantic sense of the term). And another new series, Reality Check one of the big bets of Image, Glen Bunswick and Viktor Bogdanovic will be in charge or narrating the adventures of Willard Penn a comic artist which will create a new series which will score an unlikely hit, it is about a hero more concerned with his libido than in fighting evil, what a surprise when the hero come out the pages and be reluctant to come back! Sounds interesting.

The summer is ending! Or at least the summer holidays, that's a shame we all know, however the new semester will bring a lot of surprises in comic's world... Yeah, I also prefer less surprises and more holidays, buuuuuut life is hard. Let's start!

DC have a couple of specials to end up with August, one about American Vampire and another of the Batman Incorporated's series, caution this last one is not written by Grant Morrison so get off your expectations. My personal recomendation is the second issue of Collider, renamed with no aparent reason as FBP, an attempt to camouflage the second issue as a novelty in order to rise the sells? I do not care at all, the first issue was quite interesting so go for it!

Marvel have this month the first Marvel Now's series cancelled, good bye Journey Into Mystery, it was not a bad series nevertheless the great amount of competitors have taken it to the lowest part of the top sellers list... Such a pitty. The rest have plenty good things to offer, as always do not miss anything written by Hickman, all is good at least (when not fucking great) also Uncanny Avengers is becoming a series to take into account. Marvel is really good this days, you have plenty to choose.

In Image we have a little few titles, in my opinion Lazarus and Sex are your best options, they are both very good.

In DC comics there are few new things, 100 Bullets Spin off's miniseries continues and we have a new series located in the Batman Beyond Universe, and which take its name. Kyle Higgins and Thony Silas will be in charge in the second series in that universe which seems to be surprisingly popular in the States. Looking at the others, nothing really interesting Wonder Woman and Superman Unchained are my bets.

On the other side Marvel have a really interesting week with interesting titles, don't miss Avengers, Superior Spider-man and all the x-men titles this week all are pretty cool. The one that will fall off my read-list is Nova, which facing so many creative changes is going to suffer of instability for some time, so as my reading list is quite long I prefer to wait and see how this all ends up before catching up again.

This week in Image I have little to say, only that the only title I follow is Bounce and in this moment is not really bad nor really brilliant so... Make your choice.
